They're beautiful to look at, fabulous to eat, look great on a plate and stop critters eating everything else you're growing. If you pickle the seeds, they're just like capers too- what an amazing plant & your picture does its' all round beauty great justice, Holly!

No it's not. Passion flower is the passiflora family. This is a tropaeolum and is related to the nasturiums we grow as annuals

Hi Spritz this a lovely climber and saw a beautiful specimen in Scotland (common name Scottish Flame Flower) .It grew through a yew hedge and looked like the flowering equivalent of christmas tree lights .Those lovely red flowers followed by blue berries .Its quite common in garden centres north of the border and also seen a good example in Northumberland.I believe they need moist damp conditions as seen snakeshead fritillary growing along side.So if you have a cool sheltered spot thats moist then should love it apparently frost hardy - looks too delicate - mistake I think I made with it , treat it tough.
